When Love Greet

'Love makes people crazy', so said some people. Perhaps there is truth. Proof, we see many young men or women who are willing to violate the rules of religion for the sake of seeking the pleasure of her boyfriend. Their reasons, 'that love requires sacrifice. " If the sacrifice of property or even lives to defend the religion of God, of course we do not deny. However, what if that was sacrificed was the Islamic Sharia and are looking for pleasure rather than Ar-Rahman? Hopefully this brief article which can be a material reflection for us together, for the love flowing in our blood circulation does not turn into disaster.

Allah ta'ala says,

ومن الناس من يتخذ من دون الله أندادا يحبونهم كحب الله والذين آمنوا أشد حبا لله ولو يرى الذين ظلموا إذ يرون العذاب أن القوة لله جميعا وأن الله شديد العذاب

"Among mankind is he who loves his allies instead of Allah. They loved him as their love to God, as for the people who beiman deeper love for God. If the people who zhalim was witnessed when they saw adzab (on the day) that in fact all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment (they regret it). "(Surat al-Baqara: 165)

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab rahimahullah say, "God tells us that they (the polytheists) love their idol-idol / god that game as their love to God. So it shows that they also love God with great love. But it can not enter them into Islam. Then how would people who love idol (besides Allah) with a greater love than the love of God? Then what becomes of people who just love rival's idol and did not love God? "(As quoted in Hasyiyah Book of Tawhid, p.. 7. Islamspirit.com).

Rahimahullah Ibn Kathir explains: "Allah ta'ala says about the condition of the polytheists when living in the world and when in the afterlife. They had been held up rivals to Allah that [god-god] rival. They worship him worship besides Allah. And they loved as to love God. He was God that there is no god except Him is right, no one could oppose him, no one can match him and has no partner with Him. In the Ash-Shahihain [Sahih Bukhari and Muslim] 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud-radi' anhu-, he said: I asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the greatest sin." He replied: "That thou lift besides Allah as an ally for Him when He Who created you. "While the word of God," as for those who believe more in the love of God. "That's because they love (who believe) sincerely for Allah and because of their perfection in His recognize, respect and their unity in Him. They will not associate anything with Him. However, they only worship Him alone, put their trust in Him and return of all affairs to Him ... "(Tafsir Al-Quran Al-'Azhim, I/262)

Rahimahullah Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Allah Ta'ala loves those who proclaim that something other than God as love of Allah Ta'ala then he was among categories of people who have made other than God as an ally. Shirk is the case in terms of love rather than in terms of creation and rububiyah ... For indeed the majority of inhabitants of this earth have been picked apart by God as an ally in matters of love and glorification. "(Quoted from Fath Majid, p.. 320).

Sheikh Hamad ibn 'Atiq rahimahullah explains, "The people worshiped their gods with Allah is equated with God in terms of love and glorification. This is the meaning of the verse is as selected by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah ... "(Ibthaalu Tandiid, p.. 180).

Shaykh al-Islam said: "Equalization of that sort of thing that is mentioned in the verse of Allah Ta'ala remorse when he told them in the afterlife when he was in hell. They said to the god-god and their allies in the state they are both getting adzab (which means): "By Allah, our first in the world are in manifest error, since we held you to the Lord of hosts." (Sura . Ash-Syu'araa ': 97-98). It has been understood together, that they are not aligning their god with Rabbul 'alamin in terms of creation and rububiyah. But they only mensejejajarkan idol-worship was with God in love and exaltation ... "(quoted from Fath Majid, p.. 320-321)

Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al-'Utsaimin rahimahullah explains: "The love the people who believe more in love because it is a pure love that there is no contamination of shirk in it. So love the people who believe more deeply than love them (unbelievers) to God. "(Al-Qaul Al-Mufid, II/4-5).

Sheikh As-Sa'di rahimahullah explained that the meaning of 'people who believe more in the love of Allah' ie when compared with the love of the game, lifting it to their allies. Because the people who believe that purify love for God, while they ascribe to Him. In addition, they also love something that deserves to be loved, and love to Him is the source of goodness, happiness and victory servant. As for the idolaters love something that has essentially no right at all to be loved. And love rivals in fact becomes a source of misery and ruin me and torn-cerainya business. "(Taisir Al-Karim Ar-Rahman, p.. 80).

Rahimahullah Ibn al-Qayyim said: "The source of kesyirikan against Allah is shirk in the case of love. As Allah Ta'ala, "And among mankind is he who makes other than Allah as a rival, they loved him as their love to God. As for those who believe more in the love of God. "(Surat al-Baqara: 165) ..." He asserted: "The purpose of this discussion is that the nature of servitude will not be achieved if accompanied by kesyirikan to God in the affairs of love. Another case with mahabbah lillah. Because real love is one koneskuensi and demands of servitude to Allah. Because real love of the apostle-even have to put the love to him than to themselves, parents and children-is a matter that determines the perfection of faith. Because he loves, including part of a loving God. Similarly, in love fillah and lillah ... "(Ad-DAA 'wad-Dawaa', p.. 212-213)

Prove your love!

From Anas radhiyallahu'anhu Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It does not believe either one of you until he makes me more love than the child, parents and all mankind." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim). Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al-'Utsaimin rahimahullah said: "So faith does not become perfect until the Apostle more beloved than all the creatures. If this is the case that should be applied in the love of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, then how do again with the love of Allah Ta'ala?!! ... "(Al-Qaul Al-Mufid, II / 6).

Allah ta'ala says,

قل إن كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني

"Say: If ye love Allah then follow me." (Surah Ali-'Imraan: 31). Shaykh al-Islam said: "It is not someone to be lovers of God until he is willing to submit to follow the Prophet." (See Al-'Ubudiyah)

Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al-'Utsaimin rahimahullah explains: "The principal of all the charitable works is a sense of love (love). Since a human does not do anything except what she likes, both in order to obtain benefits or to reject madharat. And when he did something because he would have liked, probably because the essence the thing itself (internal reasons) as well as food or due to external causes such as taking drugs. The worship of God is built on a foundation of love. Even the love that is the essence of worship. For when you worship without a sense of love, the worship that you do will seem bland and no soul. For indeed if in the heart of a human being still have the love of God and a desire to enjoy his paradise then of course he was on the road to reach it ... "(Al-Qaul Al-Mufid, II / 3)

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There are three things, whoever is in her third there will undoubtedly feel the sweetness of faith; [1] Allah and His Messenger more than he loves other than the two, [2] he loves someone else is not caused love for God, [3] and he does not like to return to disbelief as he does not like to cast into the flames. "(Narrated by Bukhari [15,20,5581,6428] and Muslim [60.61] from Anas bin Malik radhiyallahu'anhu).

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also said, "The rope is the strongest faith is love for Allah and hate for Allah." (Narrated by Ibn Abi Syaibah in Mushannafnya [92] from Ibn Mas'ud Al-Albani radhiyallahu'anhu validated in takhrij ul Iman Ibn Taymiyyah).

Sheikh Abdurrahman bin Nasir As rahimahullah Sa'di said: "The sign of truth that love is when someone confronted him two cases, one of them loved Allah and His Messenger, while in him there is no desire (lust) for it, while another case is something that is loved and wanted by his lust but it would eliminate or reduce the cases that loved God and His Messenger. If he turns out to prioritize what is wanted by his lust on top of what it means beloved of God do evil and he has left the obligations that should be done "(Taisir Al-Karim Ar-Rahman, p.. 332).

O my brother Then see the trend and the movements of your heart, lest thou hast been crowned god but Allah, deep inside your heart, whether it be wealth, position, position, object, or a figure. You expect it, hang your ambition to him, afraid of losing him as your fear loss of aid from Allah ta'ala, so keridhaannya also be the goal of all deeds and your actions. Halal and haram are no longer you care about, the rule of God anything you forget. Ah, how poor the people who have made being a weak and helpless as hopes of his life. It's true that rahimahullah Ibn al-Qayyim said, "Indeed the majority of inhabitants of this earth have been picked apart by God as an ally in matters of love and glorification." (Quoted from Fath Majid, p.. 320).

May Allah save our hearts from the deception of Satan and his armies, and may Allah strengthen our hearts to idealize love Him above all things. Because there's nothing more comforting than hearts and our feelings when Allah Ta'ala has set His love for us, Allah Almighty grant the prayer to hear anymore. May the blessings and greetings poured out to His Prophet, praise be to Allah, Lord of the ruler of the universe.
